4 Claims.

My invention relates to dish Washing machines.

It is the object thereof to produce a, machine of said character for domestic use which may be driven by the flow of water from the hot and cold water supply of household kitchens; is capable of convenient connectiontherewith, 'and is so constructed and arranged that it may be readily used in connection'with dish pans generally employed in family households, whereby the temperature of the wash water and speed of the moving brush may be regulated by the adjustment of the water faucets, and whereby dishes and utensils may be cleansed without requiring operators to immerse their hands or even come into contact with the wash water.

Another object of my invention provides a dish washing machine in which all of the operating parts are mounted upon a basket-like .structure or frame that may be placed in a pan or container when in use, and thereafter removed therefrom for cleansing and airing.

To these ends my invention includes the combination and arrangement of component parts to be hereinafter described and more particularly pointed out in the claims.

My invention includes, generally, a 'frame or basket structure, a horizontally disposed rotatable brush suitably mounted thereon, a waterdriven turbine for rotating the brush, flexible hose connections for ordinary household water faucets for supplying wash water and driving the turbine, a vtransversely disposed supplemental brush, a casing for the turbine to prevent splash, and a pocket for soap carried on the frame beneath the water level.

In the accompanying drawings illustrating my invention, in which like reference characters indicate similar parts,

Figure 1 is a perspective View thereof showing the device positioned in a pan and connected with hot and cold water faucets;

Figure 2 is a top plan view with the turbine cover removed;

Figure 3 is a sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Figure 2;

Figure 4 is a fragmentary transverse sectional view taken on the line 4 4 of Figure 2, and

Figure 5 is a'detail perspective view of the cover or shield of my water turbine.

Having reference to the drawings, 1 designates a basket-like structure formed of wire, preferably oval in plan, which may be placed into or removed from a pan or container generally known as a dish-pan 2. If the pan is as deep as the frame, it may be provided with a drain or opening 3 to regulate the depth of the water therein `with relation to the rotating brush and soap container 5 hereinafter desribed.

The brush 4 is horizontally disposed and its shaft or stem 5 isrrotatably supported and car- 60 ried at one end upon bearings 6 and 7. Said stem or shaft has mounted thereon a water turbine 8 upon which the water from the pipe 9 discharges. The form of turbine shown may be modified and varied to supply a more efcient and economical G5 structure without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

As shown in the drawings, the water spout 10 is connected by the pipe 9 and branches 9a and 9b with hot and cold water faucets 10a and 10b by nipples substantially as shown, whereby the volume, force and temperature of the water discharged upon the turbine may be regulated and controlled, and the speed of rotation of the brush 4 and the temperature and cleanliness of the wash water also controlled.'

For the purpose of preventing the splash and spill of the water, that is discharged upon the turbine, I provide a removable cover 12, which, as shown is shaped to conform to the contour of the.turbine and is open at its lower end to allow the water to flow over the turbine and into the lower part of the dish pan.

As is shown in the drawings, I provide a brush 13 rigidly and vertically mounted on the basket structure, preferably adjacent to the rotating brush 4 to be used to supplement the rotating brush. Said brush 13 is carried on a stem 14, and is preferably positioned below the level of the wash water, and may be used for cleansing the inner faces of small dishes or utensils.

In order that soap or a cleansing compound may be held in the wash water, I provide a rack or pocket 15 mounted on one side of the basket below the top level of the water.

From the foregoing description, and by ref- @rence to the accompanying drawings, it will be obvious that my dish Washing machine may be readily employed in the usual household or domestic kitchen and operated without requiring the operator to immerse his hands in the wash water, and that the device is capable of being thoroughly cleansed and kept sterile and free from accumulations and deposits.

Having thusdescribed my invention, what I claim as new, and desire .to be secured by Letters Patent, is-

\ 1. A dish washing apparatus comprising a water receptacle, a wire basket frame removably carried therein, a rotatable brush mounted on 110 .turbine mounted on said basket, a brush mounted on the shaft of said turbine, hydraulic means for connecting the intake of said turbine to Water faucets, and means fordirecting the outlet of said turbine into said pan.

3. In a device of the character described, va pan, a wire basket removably carried therein, a

water turbine mounted in said basket, a .brush mounted on the shaft of said turbine, hydraulic means for connecting the intake of said turbine to water faucets, means for directing the outlet of said turbine into the said pan, and means to maintain a constant level of water in the said pan with contactual relation to said brush.

Yi. In a device of the character described, a pan, a wire basket removably carried therein, a water turbine mounted on said basket, a brush mounted on the shaft of said turbine, hydraulic means for connecting the intake of said turbine to water faucets, means for directing the outlet of said turbine into said pan, and an overfiow so disposed on said pan as to maintain a constant level of water in the said pan with contactual relation to said brush.
